An administrator is configuring vSphere Lifecycle Manager to install patches to a vSphere cluster. The cluster runs workload virtual machines (VMs) that are incompatible with vSphere vMotion, and therefore cannot be live migrated between hosts during the installation of the patches.
Which configuration in vSphere Lifecycle Manager will allow the administrator to reduce the downtime associated with the patching operation without migrating the VMs?
An administrator needs to consolidate a number of physical servers by migrating the workloads to a software-defined data center solution.
Which VMware solution should the administrator recommend?
An administrator needs to update a VMware vCenter instance to a newer minor release version. Due to restrictions within the environment, the vCenter instance does not have access to the Internet As a first step, the administrator downloads the required update on another machine.
What are the next steps the administrator must perform to complete the update?
A Place the update ISO file in a Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) datastore.
' Use the vSphere Client to select the update ISO file as the source for the update.
If a distributed switch uses the "Route based on physical NIC load" load balancing algorithm, what does the mean send or receive utilization of an uplink need to exceed for the flow of traffic to move to the second uplink?
An administrator decides to restore VMware vCenter from a file-based backup following a failed upgrade. Which interface should the administrator use to complete the restore?
A vSphere cluster has the following configuration:
• Virtual machines (VMs) are running Production and Test workloads
• vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) is enabled
• There are no resource pools in the cluster
Performance monitoring data shows that the Production workload VMs are not receiving their fully allocated memory when the vSphere cluster is fully utilized.
A combination of which two steps could the administrator perform to ensure that the Production VMs are always guaranteed the full allocation of memory? (Choose two.)
An administrator is tasked with implementing a backup solution capable of backing up the Su-pervisor cluster, vSphere Pods, and persistent volumes.
Which two solutions must be used to meet this requirement? (Choose two.)
An administrator is planning to upgrade a VMware vCenter instance to version 8. It is currently integrated with the following solutions:
* VMware Aria Automation
* VMware Cloud Director
Which tool can the administrator use to run Interoperability reports before the upgrade process?
An administrator needs better performance and near-zero CPU utilization from the ESXI hosts for networking functions and processing. The administrator creates a new vSphere Distributed Switch and enables network offloads compatibility.
Which solution would help achieve this goal?
An administrator is tasked with adding two additional hosts into an existing production vSphere cluster to support the need for additional capacity.
The vSphere cluster currently has four identically configured ESXi hosts (esxOT esx02. esx03 and esx04) that utilize Intel Skylake-based CPUs. The two new hosts (esx05 and esx06) are configured identically in terms of memory and storage to the existing hosts: but utilize Intel Ice Lake-based CPUs.
The administrator must ensure that:
•Any virtual machine migrates to any of the six ESXi hosts running in the cluster.
•There is no virtual machine downtime during the process of adding the new hosts.
Which step should the administrator take to meet these requirements?
